5.0 out of 5 stars Headphones, February 17, 2007

I am a computer teacher and may of the applications that we use in my classroom involve audio. After the first few weeks of school, I decided that 38 computers all making noise was simply not working for me or for my students. I knew that headphones were the answer. I pay for these items out of my own pocket and needed something inexpensive, but reliable. These headphones fit the bill. It is much quieter in my classroom now, and the students can actually hear their own computer, not all 38 of them!

Your basic inexpensive headphones. Four foot cord is too short- presumably targeted for portable music players, but bad for connecting to a desktop computer or anything else that is more than a few feet away. Sound is good, but bass response is rather weak.
On my pair, one of the drivers has an annoying metallic rattle at certain frequencies, nearly constant at higher volumes. I paid something like $7 for these, so it's not even worth the hassle of setting up a return.
I chose these because I like the style- I don't like ear buds or behind-the-head headphones, and I needed something for casual use. I also have a set of Koss PortaPro headphones (~$40) which are excellent. In retrospect, I would recommend spending the extra cash for a set of PortaPros (not the SportaPro), or the Sennheiser P-100.

These are very good headphones. I like these ones instead of those that go behead your head. The sound comes out really nice and there are very affordable. They were like 6 bucks at walmart. If you want to replace some headphones, get these.
